The most famous war attributed to love (or lust/passion) is the Trojan War, sparked by Paris of Troy taking Helen, wife of Menelaus, to Troy, leading to a massive Greek coalition seeking to retrieve her, though divine meddling and honor were major factors. While not a direct "love" cause, the romance between Antony and Cleopatra escalated Roman politics, leading to civil war and the end of the Roman Republic, with Octavian (Augustus) using propaganda against their relationship
